That PI killed the drive. How does that happen?

That throw to a clearly double teamed Henning displays why so many here don't see Lausch as the future. That was a horrendous decision.

Stopped their first drive. Scored on our own first drive.

Reasonable playcalling.

Good start.

more concerned about Gordon in the same area. That's either Gordon running a bad route or Lujan being dumb

LOL, I guess you’ve never seen what a young, inexperienced QB who is learning while on the job looks like.

Luck or if you want to call him breaks going our way so far first play of the game their receiver drops of 30 yard pass and then they miss an interception

I'm not a fan, and he hasn't shown much learning, but he stepped up well on that 3rd and long
You’re not a fan now but I am sure you’ll jump on and off the bandwagon at least a dozen times before the season is out. That’s what happens when you have no idea what are you are really looking at. It’s just reacting to the latest play with no clue of the big picture.

Henning is getting double and even triple teamed. Someone else is going to have to step up and our QBs need to look for them.

This season? For Lausch? Man, I HOPE SO. That would mean he has more than 150 yards of offense against 3 really tough teams.

Purdue defense is bad. Cats should have 14 points now. That miss on the pass to Gordon was tough. Would have been an easy TD.

I really think Hilinski might be among the 2-3 worst QBs we've had on the team in the past 25 years

Didn’t the receiver quit on that route? I’m not sure that was entirely Hilinski’s fault.

Edit: I guess he just got turned around looking for the ball.

Sure seems like Lujan/Braun have made a lot of dumb decisions this season

Johnson is a nice player. I hope we pay him to stick around
